An Expert Opinion
Hartford Tpnrayr

General Sherman has Just returned
from his visit tc Washington, and profes-
ses himself in the position of the Lancas-
trian lover to the York maiden. He has fal-
len in love with that we'll hammered and
gifted young lady, Mrs. Grover Cleveland.
He met her for the first time in Washing
ton the other day at a Cabinet dinner, and
sat by her side "She is a very remark
able girl he said, in describing the in
terviev; perfectly qsiet and self possess
ed, and absolutely without affectation,
accepting the dignity of her position with
almost queenly graciousness. l thoug ht
her very like the Princess of Wales, and /
told her so, and she was very much pleas
ed. Mr.. Bancroft, who is very fond of
her, remarked to me that it seems impos-
sible for any bachelor or widower Presi-
dent to be elected a second term, and we
both decided we'd hate to have this pretty
creature turned out. She has not shown
the slightest preference in her friendships
to her husbands political supporters, and
some of her most ardent admirers are the
wives of men who are themselves prom
inently before the public as candidates
for the Presidency. Mrs John Sherman
is one of her stanchest friends" After
spending an hour and half with her,
tete a-tete, the next day, he was still able
TO tell her at parting that he had seen a
great many of the ladies at the White
House. and not one of them was more his
idea of what an American Presidents
wife should be than in this young and
lovely woman.

Stitches in an 0yercOat.
New York Mail and EXnress

''Some people, remarked a down town
merchant tailor, ''often say we have too
high ideas of aR overcoat. They claim
that garment is always too expensive.
For my part, speaking from experience,
L believe it to be the cheapest piece of
clothing a man can buy. I'll tell you why
Only one man in every 100 fully appre-
ciates the great amount of sewing re-
quired in the construction of an over
coat. Several times while engaged
pressing one of these garments l kept
record of the number of stitches. 1t
may not be generally credited, but
assure you it takes nearly 10000 to put
the ordinary top coat together. the
body of the coat found required 4,780
stitches the collar 8063, sewing the collar
on 1863, the buttonholes 2520, the sleeves
and the lining $50, the pockets 924, the
silk lining of body with wadded interior
II, 1868 and the braiding 2726-a total of
39,629. Just think of it, and then say an
overcoat is not cheap article of ap-
parei."

HUNTING ThESEA-
Stories of the Strength of this Gigantic Species
| 90 ch
The American Magazine

The American Magazine.
"They are not to be trifed with said
the skipper, as we pulled slowly back
from a sea-bat in the Gulf of California,
says g writer in the American Maga-
zine.
Last simmer one struck one of the
heaviest boats along shore and broke it
into kindling wood. You would have
thought that the hammer of pile
driver had hit it, as the planks were all
ground together. The man in the bow
had his arm broken, but he jumped back
in time to save his life. The boat sank,
and the fish would have drowned all
hands if other boats had not been on the
spot.
You see'' continued the skipper, "they
struck young one first, and the mother
was trying to defend it when they hit
her. They show great affection for their
young, and will fight for them as long as
they can swim. This one rushed under
them, and rose up under the wreck
while the men were clinging to it, but
she was killed before she could do any
harm.
''To give you an idea how strong they
are" continued my friend, "a vessel put
in here once, bound from an Australian
port north, loaded with coal. She an
chored off the docks, when, all at once,
the crew found itself moving along, and
for two miles it was towed by sea bat
You see the anchor had caught right be-
tween its horns, and not knowing enough
to'back out of it, it had gone ahead and
toweI the vessel. Such cas- es ere common
in the south.
The boat soon reached the shore and
once in the breakers the great fish was
washed in and stranded. Our movements
had been watched from the beach, and as
we landed team of six mules appeared,
and several more grapels and ropes hav-
ing been made fast to the fish, it was
slowly hauled from up the somewhat
steep, sandy beach above highwater mark
number of young folk taking advantage
of the opportunity and riding on its fiat
back.
As the sea bat left the water its gigan-
tic size became for the first time appar
ent. Instead of growing long like other
fishes, it had developed sidewise, almost
like bat. It was 20 feet across, II feet
in length, and had long, formidable
whip-like tail.
Although so large, the fish was fat and
disk-like, being hardly foot through in
apy portion.

DISCOURSE APPROVED.
IriShmen Endorse Editor O'Brien'S Action on
SATURDAY Night Last.

Hishmen Endorse Editor 0'Brien'S Action on
Saturday Night Last.
New YORK, June Editor O'Brien
had many callers to-day, nearly all of
whom came to endorse his action in re-
naming away from Saturday evenings
meeting. Several kilograms also express
ing approval of his course were re-
ceived. 'It has been stated, Mr.. O'Brien,
that you refused to meet delegation of
the United Labor party which came to
see you a week ago in Detroit" said a
reporter.
Il was too i'll to see any one at that
time" said Mr.. O'Brien, s'and it is true
that l did not ses the gentlemen. The
members of the committee were Mr..
Casserley and Mr.. Nc Quade, and the fact
that they are ny best friends to-day
sufficiently explains that matter"
John j. Delaney, president of the Nun
icipal council of the Irish National league
at New York, said: "Any one who reads
the statements of Mr.. O'Brien and Mr..
McQuade cannot but see that it was the
intention of most of the committee of the
labor party to deceive Mr.. O'Brien and
entrap him in his speech. By this action
they insulted the Irish race in the person
of one of the truest and most patriotic
representatives, and the Irishmen of New
York will undoubtedly resent it. The
idea that any politician or other person
Influenced Mr.. O'Brien's course is simply
preposterous."
Saybert Barnes, secretary of the Centr-
al committee of the United Labor party,
said that certain politicians attempted to
strike the labor party over the head of
O'Brien. They signally failed and sue
coeded in strengthening the labor cause.
Mr.. O'Brien was given an informal re-
ception by the New York Press club this
afternoon. Remarks were made by Mr..
O'Brien, Joe" Howard, Jr., "Btll" Nye,
and several others.

Rub In Kerosene Oil and gets II New GroNt Ii
of hair.
Henry s. Firth, NJ. D., in Home Know ledge
Now, to the owner of pate as rare
and glossy as an ancient mariner, the on
ly thing that we can recommend is a wig,
and we speak confidently from profess
ional standpoint. But to the bald ones,
the skin of those heads is normal and
healthy, we would say there is strong
hope Tor you. The writer is n philanthro-
pist. "flled with the milk of human kind
ness" and he rejoices to be able To say TO
you, despairing, hairless man, that kero-
sene is your remedy. Yes, the dark
crude kerosene will do the business for
you. This leads me to the relation of my
own case as a bald headed man and by
what means | regRined a natural cover
ing for my heau. IL is usually thought
there is no hope for bald headed man
advanced in years. ] saw with disnay
my hair growing gradually but surely
thinner day by day, until the HAIR entire
ly failed to cover the scalp. Here WAS
a very notifying state of things; but
what was to be doneY About this time
heard of n former friend of mine who held
a position in the custom house in New
York, whose hair was entirely restored,
after being badly bald for some time, by
the frequent use of kerosene. My friend
was far from being young man, which
ispired hope in my own case, so | deter
mined to try its virtue; hopeful indeed,
but not over confident. / commenced the
use of kerosene at once, rubbing it on
well two or three times week with a soft
flannel. In about a week-oh, horrorl
what had most d.eaded all my life came
upon me. The remaining part of my
hair fell off, leaving n spot Is large as
breakfast plate entirely bare. Had | not
been a conscientious man | would have
been tempted to mild profanity on the
occasion. What was now TO be dOney
Well, the kerosene had done its worst, and
/ thought if there was any virtue in
the stuff / was bound to find 10
out. It is true that it stained my pillow
awfully, and my wife turned up her nose
in disgust at the smell; but | was firm. !
was desperate; and SO / hoped and feared
and rubbed for long months without
sign of improvement. Finally, after about
eighteen months, thought ] saw indica
tions of coming hair. Ny wife failed to
see anything of the kind and declared the
stGf a fraud. But with the glass before
and behind, watched faithfully the stu
alton, for | was bound to succeed or die
in the. attempt. Finally there was no
mistake; fine soft hair, like the brown on
the lip of any aspiring boy, became daily
more apparent, until :he bald place wac
covered, and then "Richard was himself
again"

Accident at a Fight

Quite a serious accident occurred las
Friday afternoon at the San Rafael bul
ring to one of the amateur bull-fghter'
who gave a com pIimentary performanc.
to their friends, which called out yery
large attendance, the fair sex especial =
being well represented.
The horns OF the bulls, all of which
were fair fighters, had had the tips taken
off, in order to prevent any Of the anna
teurs being gored to death.
Everything passed off smoothly, with
nothing to mar the fun which wss Great
ed by the, at times awkward efforts of
the bull fighters, until the second bull was
turned into the rIng, when M. Plowes, a
young man employed in the department
of pablic works, who was acting as plea
dor, was trrown from his horse in col
lision with the bull, and as he lay on the
ground his horse kicked him squarely in
the face crushing his nose and upper jaw
in frighgful manner.
The mi ured man was carried out OF the
ring to his home, where medical atten-
dance was called in. For time it was
feared that PIowes' injuries would result
fatally, but he is now considered out Of
danger.

GENERAL NOTES.

AT the conclusion of ''hippodrome'
sparring exhibition at Albany, Kilrane
and Mitchell were hissed off the stage.
THE president, who is still at Saranae
lake, did not fish Sunday. The presiden'
cy has its drawbacks.
NATURAL gas has been struck at Fort
Wayne end Montpelier, Indiana, and
Waterloo, Iowa.
The Indians and half breeds in the
Northwest territory are reported to be
committing fresh depredations, and fears
are entertained of an organized upris-
ing.
REPORTS from the Choctag Nation are
to the effect that a battle between the
full-bloods and half breeds is imminent.
A number of the latter are crossing into
Arkansas for safety, and numerous fam
lilies have been warned to depart from
the Choctaw country.
SOME of the leading Episcopal clergy
men of New York are opposed to the pro
iect for $4,000 900 cathedral in that city
upon the ground that it will interfere
with the missionary work of the denom-
ination by absorbing moneys which would
otherwise be devoted to that object.
Al uieeGluS VI Iue w eSleiH Nail dSoo-
citation at Pittsburg, the prevailing stag
nation in trade and the cutting of prices
were discussed. A convention of all the
manufacturers of the country will prob
ably be called to devise sorae means of
getting the nail industry into q more
healthy condition.
The New York chamber of commerce
discussed "the defenseless condition of
New York Earbor." The suggestion was
made that if the general government
would do nothing the city should proceed
to defend itself. The suggestion is a
good one, but is not likely to be very
fayorably received by the Gotham CAPT
talist. The chamber of commerce will
take another tilS at the great problem at
its regular meeting.
CINCINNATI enjoyed a brief ''bOom,"
Monday. About O'clock a strong flow of
natural gas was struck at George and
Freeman streets, where boring has been
quietly in progress for some time. The
old town went wild with excitement over
the di9coyery, and visions of returning
prosperity filed the minds of the people,
but they were quickly dispelled, as the
flow soon died out. The contractors pro-
fess hopes, however, of obtaining a
"steadV nreSsuren
